I make a rustic US flag from pallet wood. I hope you all like it.
Overall dimensions of the flag are:
40 inches wide by 21-1/2 tall.
Each stripe is 1-5/8 inch wide
The stripes for the blue field are 16-/34 long.
EDIT: STAR TEMPLATE
Go here: www.instructabl... and at the bottom there is a pdf. file of the flag template. You will have to print a few copies and overlap them to make the template. You can use a window as a light box and tape the sheets together. When you print out the template the stars should measure 1-1/8 of inch across from tip to tip. If the dimensions are not correct check your printer settings to make sure you are printing "actual" size. Some printers default to a "fit to page" setting which screws up the dimensions.
The pallet that I used had boards that were 40 inches long. I ripped the different planks in to 13 individual strips that were 1-5/8 inches wide. I took seven of those strips and cut them at the 16-3/4 inch mark these seven strips make up the blue field for the stars. I sprayed painted everything the appropriate colors and glued and screwed the pieces on to a backer/hard board. I created a stencil for the stars and traced those on to blue tape and cut out each one to act as a template. Then masked everything off and sprayed the stars.
